Chantome wary of Brest's home record

Paris St Germain midfielder Clement Chantome has called on the Ligue 1 leaders not to under-estimate Brest when they visit the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Saturday night.

Carlo Ancelotti's side head to Brittany three points clear at the summit after
20 games as they continue their pursuit of a first top-flight title since 1994.

"They are unbeaten at home, so we know what to expect,'' Chantome said of
11th-placed Brest, who are unbeaten in their last five league games and would
climb into the top half with a win this weekend.

The 24-year-old added on PSG's official website. "There is expectation on us everywhere
this season.

"There will be a wall in front of us in the game. We must take the game to
them and force matters. We need to make good use of the ball, keep our balance
and be decisive in the final third.''

Second-placed Montpellier will be looking to capitalise on any slip-up from PSG
when they travel to Nice.

The hosts will be without David Hellebuyck and Stephane Bahoken through injury,
and the suspended Francois Clerc.

Defending chamions Lille, third, head into the weekend seven points off the
pace - two points better off than their visitors on Saturday night, St Etienne.

Les Verts' Romanian wing-back Banel Nicolita is wary of the threat posed by
LOSC but has assured the travelling fans his team will give their all.

"It's a team that plays great football. They have very strong personalities,''
he said on the club's official website.

"[But] we will go to Lille with great motivation and courage. We will put in
our best preparation to get a good result. We will give everything. We want to
please our fans. I'm sure that many will come and support us.''

Elsewhere, Dijon travel to the Stade Gerland to face fourth-placed Lyon. The
top-flight debutants lie 13th in the standings - only four points above
bottom-placed Ajaccio - but OL midfielder Clement Grenier knows they must not be
taken lightly.

"They're a good team and getting better,'' he said. "They've recruited well
and have players that can make the difference, such as [Gael] Kakuta, [Benjamin]
Corgnet and [Brice] Jovial.

"For us, it's a very important game after the loss to Montpellier. Kakuta is a
very skilful player, capable of things out of the ordinary. But we need to
bounce back.

"This should be three points for us. It's also a big game because it's the
first in that run of seven games in three weeks. We can't afford to slip up.''

Auxerre coach Laurent Fournier welcomes back Delvin Ndinga, Cedric Hengbart,
Kamel Chafni and Anthony Le Tallec after injuries for the home game against
Nancy, but Willy Boly (thigh) is doubtful while Yaya Sanogo (groin), Adama
Coulibaly (foot) and Alain Traore (African Nations Cup) will be missing.

In other games on Saturday, Lorient tackle second-bottom Sochaux and Toulouse
face Caen.

Fifth plays sixth on Sunday night when Rennes take on Marseille at the Stade de
la Route de Lorient.

"Rennes are a young team but have played together for the last two or three
years,'' said OM coach Didier Deschamps.

Deschamps, who will be without Stephane Mbia for around a month due to a thigh
injury, added on the club's official website: "They are one point ahead of us and they will want
very badly to beat us.''
